Brazil`s 480MW Cuiabá thermo plant in Mato Grosso state has signed a provisional natural gas supply deal with Transborder Gas Services (TBS) and Bolivia`s state oil company YPFB, plant operator Pantanal Energia said in a statement.
The Cuiabá thermo plant will continue its operations through this provisional contract and work in partnership with YPFB for a definitive contract," Pantanal Energia commercial manager Fábio Garcia said.
YPFB is supplying at least 1.1Mm3/d of natural gas to Cuiabá. This volume is assured until December 2009. Plant capacity is 2.2Mm3/d.
"This provisional contract guarantees gas volumes enough for Cuiabá to operate at minimum capacity," said Garcia.
The plant accounts for 70% of Mato Grosso state`s gas demand.
Cuiabá will purchase the natural gas for US$4.20/MBTU.
